How are they doing, in the cove, the old ceibal tree
Jasmine bushes and orchids in bloom
Where did the thrush sing sweetly?
I want to see myself reflected in your eyes again, kambá
And kiss me like I kissed you
Under the shade of the jacaranda tree

Child, lean on my memories, try to sleep in peace
I feel the weight on your conscience from Mom's tears
I saw that the fear of abandonment won't let you breathe
I feel the knot in your stomach when they talk to you about dad

Child, make peace with life, the grassland is not made of stone
The nostalgia for your past prevents you from moving forward
Who killed your smile of hope and kindness?
I know you want to fall asleep so you don't wake up again

Love, don't cry, I see light in your troubles
Following your heart, dancing to the song of thrushes

Child, I am a man with sadness, I know the weight of your truth
Get away for stealing, because you steal to eat
I saw your fingers in the mud that smelled of freedom
I know you want to fall asleep so you don't wake up again

Around the world, you go as a rascal with a heart of gold
I saw life in your knuckles and hatred in your dimples (ah, ah, ah, ah)
You prayed to some friends, because not all of them go to heaven
But you are a Grail

Love, don't cry, I see light in your troubles
Following your heart, dancing to the song of thrush–
Love, don't cry, I see light in your troubles
Following your heart

Son, they stole your little eyes, the moments I lost
I asked my destiny for time, and it said: Today it's your turn
I know that one day you will be great, I know that one day you will understand
Advice from your old man, I'm resting in peace
